I just signed up for an account, and it told me the username was already used. I signed in, and found that I created an account here when I first started the cabinet in 2005! Haha! I went to college, got married, and just finally picked up the partially completed cabinet from my parents' house. I finished the control panel, all I need is a bezel for the monitor and some touch up painting, and it will be just about 100%.
Enough with the story - here's my question: I am using an old 21" Mac monitor (BEAST!) but running on PC. I want to use a light gun, but I'm not interested in spending $100+ on one (ok, I'm not interested in spending $50+ on one).
So I've been looking at using a PS2 lightgun. If I purchase this lightgun: http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-2-Freeshot-Lightblaster-Gun-Wireless/dp/B0002OJQ6S/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top (http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-2-Freeshot-Lightblaster-Gun-Wireless/dp/B0002OJQ6S/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top)
and use these drivers: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/guncon2/ (http://xoomer.virgilio.it/guncon2/)
will I be able to get it working for, say, House of the Dead?
Also, the ROM set I have is still from about 2005. Will that pose an issue? And is there any benefit to upgrading?
Thanks!

A gyration mouse wouldn't track where the gun is actually pointed. It couldn't be that accurate.
It would be more like playing with an analogue joystick on a gamepad than a light gun.
